Be it known tlmt blunts J. Mditjrur, a.. citizen of the UnitedStates, residing; at Che caigo, in the county ol: (`ool and Stu-te of illinois, have invented certain nen' und useful improvements iu (lars, of which the 'following i u specification, reference being had lo the accompanying drawings.

in Fig". 1. Said liller blocks or strips areof wood or other equivalent mitte-rial suitable tor receiving the nails by which the roofingbozuds 16 are secured in plncc.

As shown, the c'arlines are so shaped as to provide the desired slant lor the roof; but the;v may be otherwise shaped, if desired. The intermediate earlines are prefereblvall alike; but as it is desirable that both end carlines l'uce outward it is necessary to provide e reversed carline 17 et one end ol' the car, es The vertical ilanges 14a of the car-lines 1li are bent laterally at their ends to torni lateral lips 1S, as shown in. Fig. 1, which bevx an extended bearing against the side plates, and similerlvthe lateral flanges le." of said carlines are bent twice at right angles, as lshown at 19 in Fig. 1, to provide stirrups which extend under the side plates, shown in Figs. 1 and 2. If desired, the ends ofA thc lateral flanges 14b may be bent upward between the side'. plates and the siding, as shown at 20 in Fig. 6, thus providing a more. secure connection between said parts.

`rlhe lips 1S en d stirrups 1Q src secured to the side and bottom surfaces, respectively, of the side plates by nails or screws or by bolts 21, shown in Fig. 2, or sll of these devices may be employed together. in like manner the end cerline 17 is provided with lips 1Sa and stirrups 19, which serve the seme purpose as the lips and stirrups 1S 19. The iiller strips or blocks 15 vlit closely` in the carlines, end, as 1 and '5, their upper and side surfaces are 'llush with the upper and side edges of thel eerlines, also with the upper sur- They are secured to the carlines preferably b v nails 23, extending,r through suitable holes in the outlines and through the Afiller-strips 15, being clenched, as

vshown at 24 in Fig. 4.

In the construction shown in Fig. 1 the rooting-boards are illustrated as extending; longitudinallvof the ein' sud erelittcd directly upon the upper edges of the carlines and the Eller-strips 18, being nailed to said fillerstrips, es illustrated. lin the construction shown in Fig. 7 rooting-beards 25 ere shown which extend transversely of thecar. `Where vthis construction is einplovcd, the carlines and liller-strips ure set sul'hcicntly below the upper surface of the side. plates 11A 12 to ecconnnodcte purlins 2G, which rest upon the `carlines and thc iiller-bl`ocl s and are secured (Shown in dotted lines in thereto byndils 27.

butting against the side pistes 12, as shown l Fig. 8.) The roofing-beams are nsiledto the,

` With liller-blocks 3() 3T, respectively.

i purlins so that they are indirectly secured to the liller strips or blocks. If desired, by using long nails the nails which securethe roofing-boards in place may also be Acaused to 5 extend into the filler-strips; but usually that is unnecessary.

It will be understood that with either construction the reeling-boards are secured to the filler blocks or strips and vthat my invention, so far as the generic 1o claims are concerned, is not restricted to the specific means shwn for accomplishing that end.

The siding 13 is secured to the side plates in the usual way, and at the ends of the car it i 5 is secured to the filler blocks or strips carried by the end carlines in' substantially the same way'that the roofing-boards are secured to the carlines. .It is necessary to reverse one of the end carlines, as shown at 17 in the draw- 2o ings, in order tol get the filler-strips on the outside at both ends of the car. In Figs, 11-to 14 I have illustrated the application of my improvements to the loweiI as well as'the upper portion of the frame of a 28 29 are made of angle-iron and provided The end sills 32 33am also angle-iron and are pro-4 vided with idler-blocks 34 35, respectively.

3o It Will be understood that the two side sills are oppositely disposed, so that the vfillerblocks are on the outside, and that in' like manner the endsills are oppositely disposed for the saine purpose, thus placing the liller- 35 blocks so as to be adjacent to thesiding,

which is nailed ythereto in the ordinary way.

The filler-blocksmay be secured in place by nails or boltsnr in any other suitable manner. As shown iii said ligures, the ends ol the ver- 4o tical flanges ol' the end sills are bent at right aiigles, as shown at 36 in Figs: 11 and 13, and are secured to .'tlie vertical l langes olitlie side sills. The horizontal llaizgcs of the endmsills extend under 4the'liori'zontal flanges oiltae .side sills, shown at 37 in Figs 12 and 14,

, land 'are riveted or otherwise secured theretol By this construction the side and end sills are made to overlap, so'that the parts ol the frame are held together very securely, inaliv ing a very strong and rigid construction..
